Workout Series: Abs III

Tone your tummy with this exercise

By WomansDay.com Staff

Swimsuit season is in full swing and you want your abs to be in tip top shape for that new bikini or one piece. Sometimes those simple crunch and sit-up routines just don’t do the trick, but doing out of the ordinary exercises and working those core muscles will give you the six- pack you’ve always wanted. The combination of healthy eating habits, along with an active lifestyle will also speed up your progress. Abdominal exercises should be done three to five times a week to give your muscles a chance to recover after each workout. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday come to WomansDay.com for a workout routine that will fit your lifestyle. For two weeks we will focus on the abdominal muscles so you can flaunt that bathing suit at the pool or the beach, with confidence. Each and every one of these ab routines will go above and beyond your typical workout. Watch today's combination routine taught by Amy McCauley that demonstrates the plank with knee to elbow exercise.
